My Astrophotography
Database


Content:

With this database of my astrophotos I can get an idea how many nights per month/year the sky conditions is good enough at my places for astrophotographing, see the statistics. Each object has one file that contains all of its images from different dates.

Statistics

With the data from the database I can do some calculation of it and compare the outfall for different months.

Accumulated astrophotos over the years per month

It's the months January to Mars that's best. April to August the night sky is too bright. At October to December it's clouds most of the nights, especially October to November. I bought the Sky-Watcher EQ6 mount 2013, from that it was more fun and I started to take much more astrophotos. Each photo have about 60 minutes of total exposure. The big problem is the light pollution, 2021 I bought the HEQ5 mount which has lower weight and is much more compact. Together with the Pentax 645 300 mm f/4 ED lens and Nikon D800 full frame camera I can now take it in my car and drive to dark places, Bortle Class 4 in my case.
